We’re getting ready for Halloween, which includes trying on my witch’s hat. We’re going to spend Halloween this year back in Kaaawa. It’s a great place to watch the Trick or Treaters, as it’s small, and it’s still a community where, by and large, people know each other personally, or at least by sight. And there are lots of kids, who have the best time.
I should confess that this isn’t a new photo. Instead, it’s one that I found digging around for pictures from Halloweens past. It was taken in the Kaaawa 7-11 store a decade ago. According to the caption, my Sprint Treo 650 was the top of the line cell phone with camera that I was carrying at the time, and which recorded the moment. I have to admit that it did the job just fine.
In any case, if you would like to browse some of the Halloweens past, click on any of the photos below, which will display a gallery of pictures from that year. The kids are now grown, some now with kids of their own, so looking back is fun.
It was wet and rainy in 2007, and I came away with just this one picture. But you get the idea anyway.

Love all the kids with big happy smiles! What happened to yours….? Don’t think I have seen a smiling Ian photo of you since you were about 7! Put on the old witches hat and kick up your heels and have some fun!
Aloha kakahiaka ( because I think if you get this it will be morning.) I pray you are well. (I realize this was posted 6 years ago.) In the mid 60’s I was living Ka’a’awa… I have 6 kids ( born 1960 – 1971). I took my kids my kids to the park for Halloween.. I was one of the parents who pushed for having the community Abolish door to door trick or treating: the traffic was getting bad & it was becoming too dangerous. We asked all the residents to buy candy they would have bought anyway & bring it to the park instead. We had a big ‘neighborhood’ party! It worked out well and also gave the parents time to spend together visiting while keeping our keiki safe. My name is Ginny Souza. God Bless You & our keiki this Halloween.
